libpctx

Synopsis

Description

Functions in this library provide a simple means to access the underlying
facilities of proc(4) to allow a controlling process to manipulate the state
of a controlled process.

This library is primarily for use in conjunction with the libcpc(3LIB) library.
Used together, these libraries allow developers to construct tools that can
manipulate CPU performance counters in other processes. The cputrack(1) utility is an example
of such a tool.
